It's that time of year again. Can you imagine walking into your library and asking for a copy of a book and being told "sorry we don't carry that book- we're not allowed to"

Yup, it's Banned Book Week

Stay tuned next week for more info on banned and challenged books- you might be surprised which of your favorite books and authors have made the lists

Thanks for reminding me. I'd forgotten. Every week in the library we feature two books from our collection and put them on display as soon as you walk in. Usually I try to have some sort of theme. So next week I selected 2 of the most frequently challenged books of 2004. I was looking for one on the shelf, only to find a student was just taking in out. What a coincedence! The 2 books I'm featuring are_I know why the caged bird sings_by Maya Angelou and _The perks of being a wallflower_by Philip Chbosky. I've read the latter, but not the former.
